Apollo, Soyuz, and the Space Shuttle Gemini, Apollo, and the Space Shuttle Gemini, Apollo, and Soyuz Apollo, Soyuz, and Shenzhou Soyuz, Shenzhou, and the Space ShuttleThe International Space Station's primary purpose is as a place from which to launch Earth-orbiting satellites from which to launch missions to the Moon to train for missions to Mars for international commerce to re-fuel spacecraft on their way to Mars

1. Ans : Soyuz, Shenzhou, and the Space ShuttleThe Shuttle, of course, landed as a glider on a runway. The Russian (Soyuz) and Chinese (Shenzhou) descent modules land in remote areas, near the launch facilities of these two countries. The early NASA capsules always splashed down in the Atlantic, which is also the plan for the Orion capsule that will be the next ride NASA is planning to provide into space.2. Ans: to train for missions to MarsThe Space Station serve as the gateway to new frontiers in human space exploration, a place where we can learn how to live and work "off planet." It will allow for the study of long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body and as a test bed to understand what adjustments need to be made to current methods before astronauts are sent to Mars and beyond.
